Windows | ORA-06413: Connection not open

Hi guys

If you install a 32bit application in your 64bit Windows OS, following default prompts, the installed product will be under “<drive letter:>”\Program Files (x86)” & Oracle doesn’t really like those braces :)

You should uninstall the software and install it again in a folder that doesn’t have braces or spaces in between in it’s name

eg: C:\Program Files (x86)\some software to >> C:\somesoftware

Toad and few other little utilities available for Oracle will stop complaining about “ORA-06413: Connection not open” once after that.
